Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett has made no secret of his desire for a new contract, and on Saturday, Bennett hinted that he might be open to holding out from training camp to show his displeasure with the deal.

Speaking from a charity event in Hawaii, where he lives in the offseason, Bennett initially said he planned on honoring the four-year, $28.5 million contract he signed last offseason. But he also said he hoped agent Drew Rosenhaus could work with the Seahawks to alter the deal.

“Of course I think I’ll play the contract that I got; that I agreed to,” Bennett told KHON/2 in Honolulu. “But it’s one of those things where you have to let your agent do the talking with the team, and hopefully something good comes out it. It never hurts to try.”

Bennett changed his tune slightly when asked if he planned on missing any Seahawks training camp dates in the absence of a new deal, leaving the door open for a possible holdout.

“I don’t know. Hawaii’s weather is great, so I’ll just keep it at that,” said Bennett. “When the weather’s not as nice as it is here, it’s harder to make that decision, so it just keeps it in my mind like hopefully something great comes out of it, but I don’t mind staying home for a little while.”

The Seahawks could fine Bennett up to $30,000 for every day of camp missed, starting on July 30. The 29-year-old skipped all of the team’s voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) in April and May, but attended mandatory minicamp in June.

<b>Quarterback | Wisconsin | Fourth year</p></b>
<p>Notes: It's hard to come up with a group of overrated players on the Seahawks roster, which is why Wilson is making his second straight appearance on our list. It's undeniable that the 26-year-old has developed into one of the better quarterbacks in the league, but he still has stretches where he's simply too inconsistent to be considered elite. Wilson also looks to run too quickly sometimes, which can lead to him missing open receivers downfield.</p> less

<b>Linebacker | Mississippi State | Fifth year</p></b>
<p>Notes: The versatile Wright has made an impact since his rookie season in 2011, starting 56 regular-season games over four years. After starting his career on the strong side, Wright moved over to the weak side in 2013 and even filled in for All-Pro Bobby Wagner in the middle last season. The 6-foot-3, 246-pounder struggled in coverage at times in 2014, but is still a sure tackler who consistently puts himself in position to make plays.</p> less

<b>Defensive end | Texas A&M| Eighth year</p></b>
<p>Notes: OK, this one is hard to write with a straight face. Since arriving back in Seattle from Tampa Bay ahead of the 2013 season, Bennett has led the Seahawks with 15.5 sacks. But that doesn't tell the whole story. The former undrafted free agent is also a dogged run defender, regularly penetrating the offensive line to alter a running back's path or simply take him down himself. Bennett's overrated only in the sense that while he has received accolades over the last couple of seasons, his teammate on the opposite side has been arguably just as good...</p> less

<b><big>Cliff Avril</b></big><br>
<b>Defensive end | Purdue | Eighth year</p></b>
<p>Notes: Avril was a free-agent signing from Detroit in the same offseason as Bennett -- signing for more money, ironically -- and the two have teamed up to become one of the more disruptive duos in the NFL. In fact, Avril had nearly as many quarterback pressures (55 to 63) and hits (14 to 18) as Bennett in 2014. He's not often mentioned as one of the best defensive ends in the league, and that could be because he's not as accomplished a run stopper as Bennett. But Avril has proven to be an incredibly valuable addition to the Seahawks defense.</p> less

<p>Notes: Yes, we know Graham hasn't even taken a snap for the Seahawks yet since coming over in a March trade. And we know he's been one of the most prolific receivers -- let alone tight ends -- in the NFL since entering the league in 2010. But while Graham's physical tools are beyond questioning, a lot of credit for his success has to go to New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees, who built their system around taking advantage of Graham's talents. We'll find out how adaptable he is in Seattle's run-first system.</p> less

<p>Notes: After veteran Zach Miller went down with an ankle injury that required multiple surgeries and ended his Seahawks career, Willson filled in admirably. While not the blocker Miller was, Willson held his own. He became a big-play threat in the passing game, catching the winning touchdown against Carolina in Week 8 and hauling in two scores in the Hawks' blowout Week 15 victory over Arizona. With Graham sure to attract a lot of attention from defenses, look for Willson to do some damage in two-tight-end sets in 2015.</p> less

<b>Tackle | Oklahoma | Sixth year</p></b>
<p>Notes: The former No. 6 overall pick in 2010 is by no means a bad player. In fact, his effort in 2014 when playing much of the season with a torn shoulder labrum was downright heroic. But nagging injuries and inconsistent periods of play mean he's not an elite left tackle, the glamour position of the offensive line. Okung is entering the last year of his rookie contract in 2015, but Seattle likely doesn't have the salary cap space to pay him like a premier blindside protector moving forward.</p> less

But while he may be one-dimensional -- a much better run blocker than pass protector -- Sweezy's nasty playing style and intensity set the tone for the Hawks' O-line, which is why position coach Tom Cable loves him. He's also entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2015.</p> less

<b>Wide receiver | Stanford | Fifth year</p></b>
<p>Notes: Baldwin is undoubtedly a great story, rising from undrafted free agent in 2012 to the Seahawks' leading receiver. But he's just not a No. 1 wideout. The 5-foot-10, 189-pounder won't wow anyone with size or speed, but he excels at finding openings in a defense and getting just enough separation to make a play. The addition of Graham to the offense should give Baldwin more room to maneuver in 2015, but there's one catch -- rookie third-round pick Tyler Lockett could be coming for Baldwin's job.</p> less

<p>Notes: The Seahawks' nickel corner and special teams maven showed just how valuable he was to the team in Super Bowl XLIX, when he picked off New England's Tom Brady in the first quarter. Unfortunately, Lane decided to bring the ball out of the end zone instead of taking a knee, and suffered severe arm and knee injuries in the ensuing tackle. He'll likely be on the shelf for much of 2015, but when Lane's in the lineup, he gives Seattle a tenacious slot defender and gunner on coverage teams.</p> less

<b>Running back | Texas A&M | Third year</p></b>
<p>Notes: The Hawks' top pick in the 2013 draft, Michael was supposed to be the player who made fans forget about Marshawn Lynch. That hasn't happened. While Lynch has turned in two of the best seasons of his career, Michael hasn't been able to get on the field, even in a reserve role. The 5-foot-10, 220-pounder has everything you'd want in a running back physically, but his penchant for fumbling and inability to handle the intricacies of the position mean he's been stuck riding the bench. Still, there are plenty of people who think he's the next big thing.</p> less

A solid if unspectacular player, Turbin doesn't have Michael's physical gifts, but he's earned the trust of the coaching staff with his attention to detail, which has led to his role as the Seahawks' primary 2-minute back. He doesn't get a lot of snaps behind Lynch, but he makes the most of his carries and doesn't commit any costly mistakes, scoring the first two touchdowns of his NFL career -- both receiving -- in 2014.</p> less
